Of course there are middle grounds, and I think we are already doing these middle ground style actions (see my comment on this same thread). The implication by many of these comments is that we just plain old shouldn't exist, and that is what I am pushing back on.

I am also not getting any pushback that this as an extreme outlier. If companies started reacting to every extreme outlier you can think of we would not have progress.

I agree with you on your point about moral responsibility. I was more trying to make the point that in a simplistic sense, if our good outweighs the bad, it is good. It doesn't mean we shouldn't also try to minimize the bad, which we do.
